I used to love that gum in the cartons!

I also liked Big League Chew.

Also, I used to tear into Luden Brothers Wild Cherry cough drops like they were candy. They may as well have been - they didn't help my coughs worth a damn.

Yep, I'd eat em by the box full, they were always a little sticky, and they'd get stuck to that wax paper lining in the box all the time.

Yes, I remember the Pine Bros Coughdrops.
I liked the red ones better than the honey.
They were softer than the Ludens. And better tasting. I ate a box like every other day.
